Head Liner for heads

[Stemar]

Jazzcat's foam-backed adhesive lead liner is no longer foam backed nor adhesive. It's also badly stained from where a previous owner tried to glue it back. All in all it looked like a royal pain to replace, so I'm wondering about a quick rub down to get the worst of the old glue off followed by a couple of coats of anti-condensation paint. Has anyone tried that? Any thoughts?

Well I used Dulux washable kitchen emulsion (or maybe it was bathroom emulsion) and that did a good job.

Easy to wash clean and to apply another coat when needed.

Sounds like you need Artex. Marine version, of course.

Depends on how much curvature there is but you could use the plastic tongue and groove sofit board

My OH painted our boat with the Dulux bathroom emulsion too, the whole of whatever the nautical term for 'ceiling' is in a boat (cabin top / roof ?).
Excellent results throughout, we do have a textured moulded cabin roof though.

I'm redoing the heads and using plastic shower panels One Metre Wide Mega Shower Cladding Panels (angelplastics.co.uk) . Had to use the white gloss ones. They are double skinned and cutting the back I have managed to get them to fit a curve. Might have to renew one as it was a 'pig' to cut to size and I need to even out the curvature (bolts holding winch etc 'visible' ) with some battens to give a smoother curve.

There must be other suppliers of the panels.

"deckhead" Careful how you say that!

The worse part was getting the residue of the old adhesive off a rough surface.

Hygiene board. Washable. Flexible. As used in medical facilities. Not expensive

I found that all the paint applied to the inside of my first boat's hull, both by me and the previous owner, eventually fell off to clog the bilge pumps. Personally never again will I apply paint to the insode of the moulding. Flowcoat however was a revelation!

I am replacing all my Foam backed Vinyl with Van Lining ..... that includes the heads area.

When saving hard for my first house I 'did up' and flogged a Standard eight.

The headlining was crap and really let it down so I emulsion painted it white.

Took three coats and really lifted it. I got good money for it and saw it being used locally for many years.

Just to add ... the Van lining I applied in fore cabin with all its curves and hatch - was very easy to apply - surprised me.

Its nice to touch, not cold as the vinyl was ... cleaning ? Maybe that will be not so easy as wipe off vinyl - but I think a brush for general and maybe carpet cleaner if serious ??

Pleased with it ? Yes most certainly.

I've used a few different types of paint - kitchen, bathroom, etc. They've all got a bit manky eventually but the best by quite a long way has been Zinsser Perma White...

Anywhere but in the heads I'd use van lining "carpet", but I want something that's wipe clean. I think I'll give the paint a try with a coat of one of Zinisser's clever primers first to help it stick. If I don't like the results, I can move on to plan B

The worse part was getting the residue of the old adhesive off a rough surface.

I'll have the dubious privilege of doing that this afternoon. Overalls - check, respirator - check, sanders (3 assorted) - check, vacuum cleaner - check. Energy - no, not looking forward to it at all

I don't envy you!

I scraped and wire brushed it by hand to minimise the mess, and so I could listen to a talking book.

OK .. I accept Van lining not for for Heads ..... but it has another advantage :

Minimal preparation to apply. I read all the online stuff about scraping / grinding / sanding after removal of Foam backed. When I actually got to the job .... a vacuum cleaner running while I pulled down the old .... good stiff brush .... scrape the bad patches - but where reasonably level - I left.

Applied lining ... amazing difference.

I am told by others who have used it ... a damp cloth is all that's needed normally to keep it looking ok.
